Steps to Mix Your Foundation

Start off by making sure that your hands are clean so that you do not transfer any germs to you face.

Then start placing small dots of the first foundation around your face and on to your cheeks, nose, forehead and chin.

Repeat the previous step for the second type of foundation as well. It’s true that it looks like you have over-applied the foundation but you need to cover each and every spot on your skin. You don’t always have to use a lot of foundation; in fact, you can add more or put less as per your needs.

Now either you can use a stippling brush or even a beauty blender in order to gently blend the colour on your skin.

Always work from middle of your skin to the outer hairline. This will help you keep majority of the product in the middle of your face. Moreover, you will also avoid a foundation ring from foring around your hairline.

That’s it! You have successfully managed to mix your foundations. In order to get the perfect blend, you will have to try out different shades of foundations to work on.
